Bent Road
Plume, Nisan 2012'de yayınlandı.
Celia Scott, üç çocuğu ve kocası ile Detroit’teki ırkçı saldırılardan kaçıp, kocasının küçük memleketi Kansas’a doğru yola koyulurlar. Oysa Kansas’a gitmek sorunun kısa dönemli bir çözümü olacaktır. Orada yeni bir gerginlik başlar: küçük bir çocuk ansızın ortadan kaybolur ve giderek artan araştırmalar Celia’yı ve ailesini işaret eder. Celia’nın yengesi bir yıl önce esrarengiz bir şekilde ölür ve şimdi kayıp kızın çözülmemiş durumuyla, bu cinayet arasında herkese benzerlikler hatırlatan özellikler vardır. Gizemler çözülürken, Celia’nın ailesi de çözülmek zoorundadır. Bütün bu vahşet yalnızca onların yardımıyla ortaya çıkacaktır. Bent Road Kansas ovalarındaki saf bir düz yazıyla çok güzel anlatır.

Esere Övgüler;
Favorite suspense novel"--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
“A former tax accountant, author Roy is calculated in the way she builds and eases tension; when a local girl goes missing, even the simplest scenes crackle with suspense. Inhabiting a world where lights are dim and laughter is hushed, Roy’s characters still manage to shine.”— People Magazine
“But Roy is in full narrative command, taking her time to point the reader to the next direction, but always certain – even if we are not – that what comes next is what must happen, not what we hope or wish would transpire.”— Sarah Weinman, NPR
“Roy's outstanding debut melds strong characters and an engrossing plot with an evocative sense of place…couples a vivid view of the isolation and harshness of farm life with a perceptive look at the emotions that can rage beneath the surface. This Midwestern noir with gothic undertones is sure to make several 2011 must-read lists.” --Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Roy 's exceptional debut novel is full of tension, complex characters, and deftly gothic overtones. Readers of Tana French's In the Woods will find this dark and satisfying story a great read. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal, starred review
“This odd, dark and often creepy tale of a dysfunctional community and a family that fits right in will keep readers wondering right until the last page.”
--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"A cruel calculus drives Lori Roy’s impressive debut novel...Like Michael Chabon’s work, which sometimes crosses genres, Roy’s novel could be called literary fiction or mystery. Whatever the label, “Bent Road” is written with the care and craft of stand-out storytelling.” – The Kansas City Star
"A remarkably assured debut novel. Rich and evocative." -- Dennis Lehane
"Set in the beautifully rendered Kansas plains, "Bent Road" is a family story with a suspenseful Gothic core, one which shows that the past always has a price, whether you're running from it or back toward it. Crisp, evocative prose, full-blooded characters, and a haunting setting make this debut stand out."
--Michael Koryta - Author, So Cold the River
“In her debut mystery, Roy excels at creating the kind of ominous mood that is unique to the novel’s small-town setting, in which the church holds sway, and family secrets are locked up tight. Terrifying and touching, the novel is captivating from beginning to end.” – Booklist
“Dropping us in a world of seeming simplicity, in a time of seeming calm, Lori Roy transforms 1960s small-town Kansas into a haunting memoryscape. Bringing to mind the family horrors of Jane Smiley’s A Thousand Acres and the dark emotional terrain of Tana French’s In the Woods, Bent Road manages to be both psychologically acute and breathtakingly suspenseful, burrowing into your brain with a feverish power all its own.” --Megan Abbott, Edgar award winning novelist, Queenpin
